CTAN upload -- Font Installation Guide - ctan-ann

28 Mar 2003


      ----- Forwarded message from Philipp Lehman -----
I've uploaded the file 'ltxfonts.pdf' to the incoming directory on 
ftp.dante.de. This is the initial upload. I suggest to create the new 
subdirectory 'info/Type1/fontguide/' and moving ltxfonts.pdf into 
this directory. Thank you in advance.
For the catalogue:
ltxfonts.pdf - The Font Installation Guide
The font installation guide discusses the most common scenarios you 
are likely to encounter when installing Type1 Postscript fonts. While 
the individual tools employed in the installation process are 
documented well, the actual difficulty most users are facing when 
trying to install new fonts is understanding how to put all the 
pieces together. This is what this guide is about.

Thanks for the upload.  After some internal discussion we installed this
document as CTAN:info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf
This is my first try at an XML Catalogue entry; I hope it is correct
(The license type gfdl doesn't fit with the current dtd but this will
probably be adapted soon):
